Aldrich won't return to Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to a left shin contusion.

Analysis:

Prior to his departure, Aldrich posted no points (0-2 FG), one rebound, one assist, and one block in seven minutes. With little depth due to injuries to Amar'e Stoudemire (ankle/wrist) and Andrea Bargnani (calf), Lou Amundson and Jason Smith will hold down the fort in the Knicks' frontcourt.
